Hotel Villa Anita

It was high season. We were pressed to take a room above our usual price limit. A bit skeptical we were and yet as we look back on those days, we can agree with many others who have written. It was a very special hotel, offering beauty, hospitality, comfort, convenience. There was care and attention to everything. The breakfasts had a pace and offering that made the experience into a sort of morning meal, taking time out on the balcony, enjoying the gardens below, the clean air, while trying dish after dish and conversing. It was five minutes from the sea. The pool was small but full of health dedicated features. The guests were discrete, and the staff delightful. We plan to return. It was a peaceful place and a real vacation.

We were there for 11 nights as a Home Base to visit the area..the room I booked was the Comfort w/ Balcony...it was definitely too small for 2 people for 11 nights...Sandro, the terrific owner, proposed an upgrade to the superior w/ terrace...just a lot more spacious feel and better layout...the cost of the upgrage was fair...Sandro and all the staff were so helpful and very nice and friendly... The breakfast was excellent and fresh and the women who worked there were so nice.. The cute little pool was a big plus if it was not a beach day...perfect to take refreshing dips after lying in the comfortable chairs sipping your vino...we went to the Beach 6 days and the pool was great on non beach days... An observation is that one of the staff can check by the pool on ocassion to see if anyone needed a drink...be good for the guests and the Hotel would sell more drinks.. Just have a bit more of pool service with drinks and snacks to increase revenue.. The hotel is located in a very quiet part of Santa M..it is up a moderate hill from Caffe del Porto..walking uphill via the path is fine if you are in decent shape and want to burn off some calories..But - if you have difficulty walking or climbing stairs this may be an issue..also no elevator in Hotel...so that's another consideration for people who are not too mobile...you can taxi to the hotel for 20 Euro/ 25 Euro after 9PM... Overall a terrific Hotel with classic Old School Traditional vibe...

Oh we adored this place! Tucked into the corner of a neighborhood about a 10 min walk to the sea & town, its a hidden gem! We loved the decor, the staff, our room, the pool & the delicious included breakfast! Its easy to jump on a bus or train (although the train station in a bit of an uphill walk as are the stairs back to the hotel), and you can travel to different areas easily! We cant wait to return!
